Röstigraben : From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Röstigraben, (German pronunciation: [ˈrøːstiˌɡraːbən]), literally ‘Rösti ditch’, also transcribed Röschtigraben in order to reflect the Swiss German pronunciation [ˈrøːʃtiˌɡrabə], is a humorous term describing the language border between the German-speaking (German Switzerland) and the French-speaking Romande parts of Switzerland with their respective cultural differences. The first part of the term is derived from the Swiss German name for hashed potatoes, Rösti, which originated in the Canton of Bern and is considered typical of German–Swiss cuisine. The term first appeared during World War I, when the neutral Swiss stood between the belligerent powers of the German Empire and the French Third Republic, though it didn't become popular until the late 1970s in the course of the Jurassic separatism movement resulting in the establishment of the Canton of Jura. "Graben" has both the concrete and abstract meaning of rift, with the Saane/Sarine river valley in the bilingual Canton of Fribourg separating the linguistic areas. The Swiss-French use a similar expression: barrière de Rös(ch)ti, literally "Rösti barrier" or Rideau de rös(ch)ti ("Rösti curtain", similar to the Iron Curtain). the different voting results. ref : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R%C3%B6stigraben
